in one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, in each eDRX cycle, there is a paging time window PTW, and the terminal listens to the paging channel in the PTW according to the DRX cycle (the DRX cycle time is short, and the terminal may be considered not to sleep and is reachable all the time) so as to receive downlink data, and the rest of the time the terminal is in a sleep state. The eDRX mode may consider that the terminal device is reachable at any time, but the delay is larger, and the delay depends on eDRX cycle configuration, so that a balance between low power consumption and delay can be achieved.

It should be noted that, the terminal and the core network need to negotiate the following parameters:

T _eDRX,H : eDRX cycle;

l: PTW window length.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the negotiation process includes:

step 31, the base station sends a system message to the terminal, wherein the system message carries information related to eDRX;

For a better understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following further describes the technical solution of the present disclosure by means of an exemplary embodiment:

in one embodiment, in an eDRX operation mode, the core network assigns a first eDRX parameter to the terminal, namely an idle mode eDRX parameter (extended DRX for CN paging) or an eDRX parameter for paging the core network, or an eDRX parameter configured for an upper layer (eDRX configured by upper layer). The base station assigns a second eDRX parameter, i.e., an inactive eDRX parameter (inactive mode eDRX parameter), to the terminal, either an eDRX parameter for radio access network paging (extended DRX for RAN paging) or an eDRX parameter configured for the radio access network (eDRX configured by RAN).

In one embodiment, the base station explicitly indicates to the terminal whether idle eDRX (e.g., indicated by a first identity) or inactive eDRX is supported (e.g., indicated by a second identity, and the second identity needs to be configured when the first identity is configured or network enabled (enabled)). Wherein the identification being configured or network enabled means that the network sent the identification in a SIB1 message.

By way of example only, and in an illustrative,

an indication of a first identity or an indication of an idle state eDRX (eDRX-AllowedIdle):

the presence of this field indicates that the first eDRX parameter is allowed to be used for listening of CN paging messages in a cell of a UE in RRC IDLE state (rrc_idle) or RRC INACTIVE state (rrc_inactive). If there is no eDRX allocation, the UE should stop CN paging message listening using the first eDRX parameter in rrc_idle or rrc_inactive.

An indication of a second identity or an indication of an inactive state eDRX (eDRX-allowedtinactive):

the presence of this field indicates that the second eDRX parameter is allowed to be used in the cell of the UE in rrc_inactive for listening to RAN paging messages. If eDRX AllowedInactive is not present, the UE should stop using the second eDRX parameter for RAN paging message listening in rrc_inactive.

In one embodiment, a third identification (corresponding to the first capability indication information in the present disclosure) is introduced to indicate that the base station supports support capability for a second eDRX paging cycle (corresponding to the second eDRX parameter in the present disclosure) that exceeds a particular threshold.

In one embodiment, the second eDRX paging cycle corresponds to an inactive eDRX paging parameter cycle assigned by the base station.

In one embodiment, the third identity is notified to the terminal by a system message.

In one embodiment, the third identity, if configured, means that the base station supports support for a second eDRX paging cycle exceeding a certain threshold.

In one embodiment, the third identity is configured or network enabled based on the second identity being configured or network enabled.

In one embodiment, the third identity is configured or network enabled based on the first identity being configured or network enabled.

In one embodiment, an inactive state terminal is assigned a second eDRX paging cycle by the base station that exceeds a particular threshold and the base station configures a third identification to the terminal, the terminal is deemed to be configured with a second eDRX paging cycle that exceeds the particular threshold.

In one embodiment, an inactive state terminal is assigned a second eDRX paging cycle by the base station that exceeds a certain threshold and the base station configures a third identity to the terminal, then the terminal is considered to be configured with T _eDRX,RAN Set to greater than 1024 radio frames.

In one embodiment, an inactive terminal is assigned a second eDRX paging cycle by the base station exceeding a certain threshold and the base station is configured with a third identification to the terminal, then the terminal is deemed to be configured to monitor for RAN paging using a paging cycle in the second eDRX parameter exceeding the certain threshold (e.g., 1024 radio frames).

In one embodiment, if the inactive state terminal is configured with a second eDRX paging cycle exceeding a specific threshold, then its listening behavior is:

such as:

monitoring CN paging in the PTW of the first eDRX parameter and monitoring RAN paging in the PTW of the second parameter eDRX parameter respectively; and simultaneously monitoring the CN paging and the RAN paging in a period when the PTW of the first eDRX parameter and the PTW of the second parameter eDRX parameter have time domain overlapping.

In one embodiment: the inactive state terminal not being assigned a second eDRX paging cycle for which the base station exceeds a certain threshold includes: the second eDRX paging cycle of the network configuration is less than or equal to a specific threshold, and/or the base station is not configured or enabled with a third identification; (wherein either condition is not met).

In one embodiment, for inactive terminals, the network configured second eDRX paging cycle is one that exceeds a certain threshold, but the base station does not configure or enable a third identification (such as back to an R17 base station), at which point fallback processing may be employed. A simpler way is to not use the second eDRX parameter, i.e. the second eDRX parameter fails. (this mode corresponds to mode 1)

In one embodiment, the terminal is configured with only the first eDRX parameter and the second eDRX unconfigured process if the configured second eDRX parameter fails. The CN and RAN paging message monitoring is carried out in the PTW of the first eDRX parameter; and RAN paging message listening (according to the RAN paging cycle) is performed outside the PTW of the first eDRX parameter.

In one embodiment, if the terminal is assigned an eDRX period greater than 10.24s by the base station and the network does not send a third identification (e.g., back to the R17 version of the base station, this functionality is not supported), the terminal considers that the second eDRX paging period is not configured or cannot be used to monitor the RAN paging.

In one embodiment, if the terminal is assigned a period of less than or equal to 10.24s and the network has transmitted the second identity (whether the network transmits the third identity or not), the terminal considers to be configured with the second eDRX paging period or can listen to the RAN paging using the second eDRX paging period.

In one embodiment, for an inactive terminal, the network configured second eDRX paging cycle is a second eDRX paging cycle exceeding a certain threshold, and the network does not send the third identification but sends the second identification (e.g., back to the R17 version supporting base station), then fallback processing may be employed at this time. Alternatively, the terminal considers to be configured with a second eDRX paging cycle (default cycle) or listens to the RAN paging using the default second eDRX paging cycle. (this mode corresponds to mode 2)

Wherein the default period may be a protocol convention; such as 10.24s. Or 10.24s or less, for example, 5.12s or the like;

in one embodiment for mode 1:

for a terminal, if the terminal is allocated an eDRX period greater than10.24 s by the base station and the network sends a third identification (e.g., named eDRX-allowedinactive longerthan 10.24), the terminal considers that a second eDRX paging period exceeding a certain threshold is configured or can monitor for RAN paging or terx, RAN is longer than 1024radio frames using the second eDRX paging period exceeding the certain threshold. If the terminal is assigned a period of no more than10.24 s and the network has sent a second identity (e.g., named eDRX-allowedtinactivity), the terminal considers that it is configured with a second eDRX paging period or can listen to the RAN paging using the second eDRX paging period. If the terminal is allocated a period greater than10.24 s and the network does not transmit the third identification, the terminal considers that the second eDRX paging period is not configured or the RAN paging cannot be monitored using the second eDRX paging period.

The corresponding criteria are described as follows:

The UE may be configured by upper layers and/or RRC with an extended DRX(eDRX)cycle TeDRX,CN and/or TeDRX,RAN.The UE operates in eDRX for CN paging in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE states if the UE is configured for eDRX by upper layers and eDRX-AllowedIdle is signalled in SIB1.The UE operates in eDRX for RAN paging in RRC_INACTIVE state if the UE is configured for eDRX no longer than 10.24s by RAN and eDRX-AllowedInactive is signalled in SIB1.The UE operates in eDRX for RAN paging longer than 10.24s in RRC_INACTIVE state if the UE is configured for eDRX longer than 10.24s by RAN and eDRX-AllowedInactivelongerthan10.24 is signalled in SIB1.

in one embodiment for mode 2:

for a terminal, if the terminal is allocated a period greater than10.24 s by the base station and the network sends a third identification (e.g., named eDRX-allowedinactive longarthan 10.24), the terminal considers that a second eDRX paging period exceeding a certain threshold is configured or can be used to monitor RAN paging or terx, RAN is ringer throw 1024radio frames. If the terminal is assigned a period greater than10.24 s and the network does not send the third identity but sends the second identity (e.g., named eDRX-allowedbeactive), the terminal considers to be configured with a second eDRX paging period or listens to the RAN paging using a default second eDRX paging period. The default second eDRX paging cycle is then agreed upon according to the protocol. If the terminal is assigned a period of no more than10.24 s and the network has sent the second identity, the terminal considers that the second eDRX paging period is configured or can be used to monitor the RAN paging.

The corresponding criteria are described as follows:

The UE may be configured by upper layers and/or RRC with an extended DRX(eDRX)cycle TeDRX,CN and/or TeDRX,RAN.The UE operates in eDRX for CN paging in RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE states if the UE is configured for eDRX by upper layers and eDRX-AllowedIdle is signalled in SIB1.The UE operates in eDRX for RAN paging in RRC_INACTIVE state if the UE is configured for eDRX no longer than 10.24s by RAN and eDRX-AllowedInactive is signalled in SIB1.The UE operates in eDRX for RAN paging for 10.24s in RRC_INACTIVE state if the UE is configured for eDRX longer than 10.24s by RAN and eDRX-AllowedInactive is signaled in SIB1 while eDRX-AllowedInactivelongerthan10.24 is not signalled in SIB1.The UE operates in eDRX for RAN paging longer than 10.24s in RRC_INACTIVE state if the UE is configured for eDRX longer than 10.24s by RAN and eDRX-AllowedInactivelongerthan10.24 is signalled in SIB1.
